Jiang Wanru listened to the words brought back by Jiyin, her first reaction was that others had spread false rumors or Jiyin had misheard. She felt in her heart that this matter was not reliable. The Wang Fu was a high-ranking aristocratic family, second only to the imperial palace and the prince's mansion. Even the legitimate daughters of the Jiang family might not be able to marry into such a prestigious family, let alone herself, a concubine-born daughter, becoming the official wife of the young master of the Wang family.

  Jiang Wanru smiled lightly and looked at Ji Yan, who was worried, saying: "Yuwen must have misheard. Even if it were the concubine of the young master, it wouldn't be me, let alone the legitimate wife. Jiyan, your family's young lady has a bad reputation outside, and the people in the Wangfu are always well-informed, how could they choose someone like me to enter the mansion? Put your mind at ease and go do your needlework."

  Ji Yan glanced at Jiang Wanru, who was calm and composed, and knew that she had a lot of experience outside, so she naturally believed her words. Suddenly relaxing, she smiled and patted her own chest, saying: "Miss, you don't know how scared I was when I heard the news. I thought to myself, 'I don't understand anything, how can I follow Miss into the palace?'". Jiang Wanru looked at Ji Yan, who had regained her smile, and gazed at the rice box in her hand, saying with a smile: "Now I can finally have a good breakfast, I see that rice box is almost crushed by your hands."

  Ji Yan smiled and quickly walked into Jiang Wanru's room, with Jiang Wanru following behind her. After a while, Ji Yan's regretful cry came from inside the room: "Miss, the food has gone cold." Jiang Wanru lightly laughed in response: "It's hot weather, it's better to eat when it's cooler." In the courtyard, the wind gently swept by, and outside the yard was still quiet.

  Jiang Wanruo and Jiyuan went to the backyard after lunch, tidying up the yard. They picked the matured herbs and laid them out in the sun to dry. Jiang Wanruo moved the old tables from inside the house to the backyard. As the sun began to set, Jiang Wanruo and Jiyuan sat leisurely in the backyard, chatting and enjoying the breeze.

  On this day, in the morning, she went out of the hospital gate several times. Each time before going out, she had an excited and expectant expression, but when she came back, she was dejected and deeply disappointed. It was because of the news she heard from various people in the Jiang family, which were all similar. Everyone said that Jiang Wanru was going to marry into a wealthy family, but no one knew where this wealthy family was located.

  Jiang Wanmu gazed at her as she repeatedly ran out into the sun, only to return with a lost expression. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she could only comfort herself by saying: "Ji Yan, don't be too anxious. I'm just a nobody, there's no need to worry, others will remember me and won't let go, instead of worrying that they'll forget about me. It's rare for someone to think of me now, the Jiang family still has someone like me, and can come to propose to me. I think no matter which family it is, in the Jiang family, it will cause a stir. Let's just quietly wait for an answer."

  Miss, don't you want to know about the family that Old Master, Master and Madam have arranged for you? Don't you want to know if he's good or not?" Jiang Wanru looked at Ji Yan with a hint of urgency and asked indifferently: "I already know which family it is, what can I do? If he's not good, I don't want him, can I back out?" Ji Yan heard Jiang Wanru's words and replied gloomily: "Miss, the engagement has been settled. Madam won't allow you to back out."

  Jiang Wanmu looked at her with a calm expression and said, "Since it's like this, why bother going to the trouble now. Let's just wait for the mistress' notification instead. For now, I'll just do whatever makes me comfortable. Jiyuan, don't go out again, calm down and focus on your work. As for me, I'll go practice my calligraphy and think about ways to make more money. Having money is the only way to have a future." After finishing her sentence, Jiang Wanmu ignored Jiyuan who was standing still in the courtyard and went back into her room by herself.

  As the sun sets, Ji Yan looks at Jiang Wanru who is leaning on the table with her eyes slightly closed and asks in a low voice: "Miss, have you thought of any good ways to make money?" Jiang Wanru opens her eyes slightly, looks at her, and says softly: "Of course I've thought of a way, but this matter can't be spoken of outside for now." Ji Yan sits up straight, waiting for Jiang Wanru to continue speaking, but she closes her eyes again. Ji Yan waits for a while, unable to bear it any longer, stretches out her hand and gently pushes Jiang Wanru, saying: "Miss, you haven't finished speaking yet."

  Jiang Wan's lazy eyes opened, looking at Jiyuan and saying: "I've finished speaking." Jiyuan stared at her and said: "No, you said it can't be spoken of outside, but you didn't say it couldn't be spoken to me." Jiang Wan heard this and sat up straight, lightly laughing, stretching out her hand to gently pat Jiyuan's small face, smiling as she said: "That method is temporarily only something I myself know, naturally it can't be mentioned to you." Jiyuan looked at Jiang Wan with a disappointed expression, saying: "Miss, is it that I'm useless? Can't help Miss with anything, so Miss has things hidden from me?"

  Jiang Wanting listened to Xiaoyu's complaint and said with a headache: "Jiyuan, I heard your mother's footsteps. Go outside and see if it's your mother bringing lunch." Jiyuan immediately forgot what she had just said, smiled and stood up, rushing towards the gate of the courtyard. Jiang Wanting looked at Jiyuan's back with envy, in this life, she had never lived a day as carefree as Jiyuan.

  Jiang Wanru was still in a state of wonder when Jiyi rushed back quickly, shouting at the entrance of the courtyard: "Miss, I saw Auntie Jiang bringing two people and walking towards us." Jiang Wanru immediately sat up straight, her expression turning wooden. Jiyi glanced at Jiang Wanru like this and walked into the courtyard with his head slightly lowered.

  Xiao Jiang's maid brought two people to the gate of Jiang Wanru's courtyard. The little maid behind her had already shouted from a distance, "Third Miss, our housekeeper has been entrusted by the madam to come and see you." Ji Yan glanced at Jiang Wanru, saw her nod, and hurriedly went to welcome them at the gate. When she saw the two little maids of Xiao Jiang's family approaching, she quickly paid her respects and softly called out, "Hello Aunt Xiao Jiang, hello sisters."

  Ji Yan looked at the lowered eyebrows of Jiang's family, then from the open courtyard gate, saw Jiang Wanru sitting by the table in the courtyard, like a wooden person. She let out a light sigh and asked: "Is your young lady doing well these past two days? Has your mother not sent lunch yet?" Ji Yan looked up at her, immediately lowered his eyes again, and said softly: "The young lady is fine. My mother will send the meal over in a bit." Ji Yan stepped aside to let Jiang's family and the two people behind her enter.

  After Xiaojiang's family arrived, Jiang Wanyu only slightly raised her eyes to look at her, without a single polite greeting. Instead, Jiyuan hurried forward, pulled out his own stool, and smiled as he invited Xiaojiang's wife to sit down, saying: "Auntie Xiaojiang, please sit down and talk with Miss." Xiaojiang's wife glanced at Jiang Wanyu, seeing that there was no disapproving expression on her face, before slowly sitting down.
